It was to depart on the 6th of April. I was so excited to finally see my sister. I haven’t seen her in 15 years. Finally, I thought, we would reunite. We would be able to be sisters for real. I could stand next to her and hug her. We have the same father but not the same mother. She was born and raised in Israel while I was born and raised in Canada. I spent my summers in Israel as a child in the town of Ashdod. I have memories of walking on the beach with her and going to the mall. I remember us spending time at our grandmother's apartment. I also remember her paintings and how beautiful they were. Her artistic talent marked me. The last time I saw her, I was only 11 years old. She was 21. Never would I have thought that it would take us 15 years to meet again. We wrote each other letters when we were young. She would send me drawings and news about her life. I still remember how happy I was when I received her letter. She was raised alone by her mother, like me. We both didn’t know much about our father and didn’t spend much time with him. Unfortunately, her mother passed away when she was only 23 years old. It still breaks my heart that I was unable to be there for her as I was so far away. Today, she is successful and married. She has a beautiful young boy, Idan. I cannot wait to meet him and to get to know him. I want to be part of her family and for Idan to know his aunt. On the 6th of April, I was supposed to be reunited with them. But the pandemic had other plans for us. A few weeks later, I found out that she is pregnant again. I hope to see them all one day.” https://www.storiesos.com/hope/to-be-a-photographer monthly 0.5 2022-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f580280c0f39f27987fefba/1599615432568-GNEKSQDRBMLAYRT3VTDW/35c4b7c8-1f0b-4f96-902a-e61a448ae074.JPG I hope - To be a photographer https://www.storiesos.com/hope/to-go-to-school monthly 0.5 2022-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f580280c0f39f27987fefba/1599758710444-6BXEM1NGDMM1ZQ2KTLE8/97039986_256514622391272_5618042451253002240_n.jpg I hope - To go to school https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f580280c0f39f27987fefba/1599762304077-P4PFHV61JD5K8WZDIGOQ/97028322_264278901615499_8811399207614152704_n.jpg I hope - To go to school https://www.storiesos.com/hope/to-be-a-role-model monthly 0.5 2020-09-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f580280c0f39f27987fefba/1599762771962-A4AZSHQE563B6EC5L55V/118471086_304850580603219_6236587064661216006_n.jpg I hope - “To be a role-model” https://www.storiesos.com/love daily 0.75 2022-02-15 https://www.storiesos.com/love/being-an-artist monthly 0.5 2022-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f580280c0f39f27987fefba/1605147953430-RR95ZQFZR6PMSY4KJ7YQ/Ashara_flowers_headshot.jpg Love - Being an artist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f580280c0f39f27987fefba/1605148780252-NAT0OEM6ELKO41OPD3F9/50790797_10155757357876277_6256753866839162880_n.jpg Love - Being an artist “We played outside in the street and I was a kid who loved TV, you know, and I was really really, really shy and loved spending time in the house and my sister kind of liked being out playing in the street so, but kids played in the street.

I had to find money and keep busy in my holidays so I basically took the job of cleaning the hostel because at least one or the other of the cleaning ladies would be off during the holidays. So I became the hostel cleaner. And I also took a job with the cook on Sunday morning, helping her to cook breakfast at like 6am for the people staying the hostel where I was living. So that’s how I passed my holidays but also there was a lot of uncertainty because by this time, as I learnt later, that my parents and siblings had become refugees and although they had Ugandan citizenship, they still had to leave and they were refugees and they were in Italy. For almost two months I didn’t know what was happening or where they were. Then I heard from them and found out they were refugees in Italy. They didn’t know where they were going to go at that time, because no country had accepted them. Then I think after three months, America accepted them and they moved there.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f580280c0f39f27987fefba/159390b6-a0e8-43fc-9f17-02a19ce88fe7/IMG_5147.jpg The Uganda Chapter - Azmina Jiwa—My Mother - “I Got A Loan” “I couldn’t carry on with my education because my family’s money had been seized by the Ugandan government. But I heard that the Ismaili Council was going to help us out so I contacted them and they said that if I was following a career then the bank would give me a loan with 2.5% interest and that way I could then carry on with my education. They would also arrange with Social Security to give us money for our living expenses. So I started looking for what career can I take with the one-year of A-Levels I had from Uganda. They gave me various options and I said: “Okay, I think I will take up Chiropody.” Then I got all the paperwork done and I got my loan and found a hostel to live in. They were not giving me much so I had to live in accommodation that was very cheap so I was living with five girls in a dormitory in a YWCA. It was £6 per week, including breakfast and dinner. For everything extra, I worked three or four evenings a week. I would do washing up of the dishes in the hostel, I would go and do some clerical work in the evening sending out doctor’s journals and I would do cleaning and ironing at somebody’s house. The pay then was 50 pence an hour.” https://www.storiesos.com/the-uganda-chapter/introduction-rzkm8-sxcle monthly 0.5 2022-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f580280c0f39f27987fefba/fe13fdc3-bf11-493d-91c4-a7cb5bf28118/20190814_175323.jpg The Uganda Chapter - Trailblazers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.storiesos.com/the-uganda-chapter/introduction-rzkm8 monthly 0.5 2022-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f580280c0f39f27987fefba/832b916f-3cb0-4b85-ba65-ca63c86f6ba1/image-asset.jpeg The Uganda Chapter - The Uganda Chapter: An Indian Exodus - Make it stand out DISPLACED: Thousands of Ugandan Asian refugees arriving at Heathrow Airport in August 1972 https://www.storiesos.com/the-uganda-chapter/introduction monthly 0.5 2022-06-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f580280c0f39f27987fefba/16e0e12c-69ba-41a4-bfaa-c0ede2e15b2c/286010766_326481556347749_8882478319805969277_n.jpg The Uganda Chapter - Being a Refugee - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.storiesos.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-09-28 https://www.storiesos.com/we-survived daily 0.75 2022-06-21 https://www.storiesos.com/home daily 1.0 2020-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f580280c0f39f27987fefba/1600996616120-FPO5SID6CSTTDG6JIU13/jayrock.JPG Home - As journalists & photographers, we aim to recognise the grit, skill & resilience that goes into survival.
